We all know the girl who wears an oversized t-shirt to the beach or the pool. The girl who never takes it off because she doesn’t like the way her body is. We all know the girl who wears twenty hair ties on her arms to cover her struggles. The girl who never knew how to ask for help because she didn’t know how to ask for it.

And we all know the girl who has gone 11 days without doing the horrid act.

And the girl who doesn’t lie when she smiles anymore.

And the girl who is beginning to question the use of the oversized t-shirt.

And the girl who holds her head high and doesn’t look back on her former life: a life of repeated peer abuse.

We all know the girl who doesn’t wear make-up because she believes that it is a lie: covering your faults as if to erase them.
